WASHINGTON -- Here's an X-rated endorsement you're unlikely to see touted in any campaign commercials: People in the adult entertainment industry strongly support President Obama over Republican Mitt Romney.
Those are the results of a poll of 339 respondents by XBIZ.net, an industry social network. The poll found 68% of people in the San Fernando Valley-based porn industry said they would like Obama to win the election, compared with 13% for Romney.
Fourteen percent said they preferred "someone else" and 5% said they didn't care.
But the Obama campaign is unlikely to do any dancing over the results of this poll.
Steven A. Hirsch, chief executive of Los Angeles-based Vivid Entertainment, said the porn industry's support for the more liberal candidate makes sense.
"The results aren't really surprising because most people involved with the adult industry have a liberal view of government and how it should work,” Hirsch told XBIZ Newswire.
